Yes, the 3 of us got the bug for sure, and you are right, it is intoxicating! We've been on other trips together, especially Japan, stayed at a monastery for 3 days eating all vegetarian (we would sneak out at night and walk to the village to get some proper protein though) We walked the Philosopher's Path outside of Kyoto during fall, where the colors on the trees was amazing. I will post some pictures from that trip in the coming weeks if you guys are ok with that. They will be in color.
I do have color pics of the cowboy trip and will rustle them up.
I think the Little Big Horn was very moving, to actually ride on horseback the very trails that Custer's men road to their deaths was chilling. As far as scenic, Monument Valley was pretty dramatic, going to John Ford's point and realizing how many movies I saw with that view...and then walking for a day through the terrain was pretty cool.
I am going to Italy this summer, a semi-road trip, not the rough and tumble Cowboy style, going with another family, Start at Rome drive up through the Tuscany region, Florence, Siena, Pisa and end up in Venice. We booked a place right on a canal, yay for Airbnb! We try to go somewhere once a year together. Last year we went to France and drove all through Alsace and over to the Black Forrest, even went to Verdun. Amazingly German. Had no idea about the history of that region. We stayed at a working Dairy farm!
For the Cowboys, we have been discussing a multiple overnight desert outing to get some awesome night shots. Camping out and eating Mormon stew!
